The BMW Group is firmly committed to the United Nations’ Global
Compact and has implemented its ten principles at all locations since
2001. The company reports annually on its sustainability strategy,
goals and progress in its extensive Sustainable Value Report.

Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG: “Our
actions are aimed at shaping the mobility of the future and securing
our leading position as a successful company. We have set ourselves
concrete sustainability targets we aim to meet by 2020. Last year,
once again, our projects and the measures we implemented brought us a
good deal closer to these goals.”

Selected facts from the Sustainable Value Report 2015:

    the CO2 emissions of its worldwide fleet by 39.5 per cent from 1995 levels.
